It's funny you mention that I am actually trying to build a case to abandon
our current firewall in favor of a PIX 506E. Do you know of any independent
sites (resources) that make similar recommendations. I would really like to
see us adopt a PIX but I need a credible and non-biased argument. This
email you sent me will be included, but I fear I need more concrete
(non-biased) opinion to sway the decision maker. Thank you very much for
your candor and response.

I would just go buy a $900 Cisco PIX 506E and be done with it. The
latest Check Point products are going to require new hardware and the
software itself is very expensive. You could look into Check Point /
Nokia appliances also, but they're also going to be very expensive.

Subject: [FW-1] Next version of Checkpoint firewall
We have been running Checkpoint FW-1 version 3.0a for at least two
years.
I am looking into upgrading, since we can no longer successfully export
the
logs without choking the server. What are our options? Also if someone
can
give me a ballpark idea on how much the upgrade would cost for a small
network with 25 servers and 85 users. I am attempting to piece together
a
plan for our future, I have not been the firewall manager in the past
(that
employee left) and am not Checkpoint certified. Any help, information
ideas,
you can give would be appreciated. At this point I am just gathering
facts
and getting involved with Checkpoint and a formal quote from a sales
associate would not be in either one of our best interests. Thanks in
advance.
Sincerely,
Rich Marsh
